Scrappy Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 (edited) The Bills can actually take their time instead of running a card up 9 seconds into their turn. They might be able to force Cincy to give up their 2nd round pick this year to move up one spot for a QB they covet. It would be a brilliant positional play that would allow the Bills to draft the best defensive player in the 4th slot while making it look like they have a higher trade partner waiting but not giving up a cherry spot in the 2nd round that Cincy holds. They give you time to choose your player Buddy use that time to work the phones & bluff if available. You'd be suprised by how hard someone can bite if something is served just right.

Mr. ChumChums Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I like it. But it only works if Nix & Co don't want to draft the QB that they see on the board, themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justice Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 The Bengals also have a need a wideout. AJ Green and whomever they select with their second rounder would probably be better for them than just that one pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but there is a clock for a reason & it gives you a chance to make a deal. Buddy "talking" with another club on his cell & a underling on the phone asking Cincy if they want to move up for QB or not might fly, these things do work. The Bengals also have a need a wideout. AJ Green and whomever they select with their second rounder would probably be better for them than just that one pick. Not if it's someone they consider a franchise QB, Palmer is a goner so who throws the rock to AJ ? Edited April 20, 2011 by Scrappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Wouldn't Cinci just trade with Denver since Nix has expressed interest in both of the QBs? I really don't think a trade will happen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't either. But if they trade with denver, Dareus should be there, unless Carolina takes him. Win win for us, that is if Dareus is the guy nix wants. I don't see the reasoning in telling Cinci that we're talking to other teams who want to trade up for gabbert, we can just them we're gonna take him.

So there is a closer value for Cincy making this with us, which helps justify the move for both teams.

Draft chart link: http://www.draftcoun...Value-Chart.php The problem with that if I'm cinci: What if the Bills, who havent had a good QB in 15 years, really want Gabbert and won't make the trade. Trading with Denver guarantees they get their man. Trading with us, if they REALLY want him bad, isn't a smart move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynchMob23 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 The latest news has Cinci wanting the wideout at 4 and hoping a qb lasts to 35 for them. If anything if we're not sold on the QBs at 34 we could get them over a barrel then.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably spend more time working the phones for deals come draft day than last season sprint to the podium. It may have been the quickest decision in the draft last year, check your options.

This all looks to be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
